Is there any difference between SATA & SATA II. The hard drive that went bad was a WD3200BEVT.

You should be fine with this one. Sata II runs at 3.0 GBps and Sata runs at 1.5 GBps. Do some research on Google but you will more than likely be more than satisfied.

Thanks. Would see if you have Part Number 9FS066-150 with Firmware ER62 or higher. If not i would take Part Nr. 9FN066-008 with firmware 008. 2 HDD I Need. Let me know. Thanks

No, the interface is different This one SATA. U have an IDE hdd (old school). So that being said look for an 3.5 IDE hard drive. i bought this one great product no issues: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004BU6ITW?cache=f26e78305da93118e7fc972f1c8c77ddπ=SX200_QL40#ref=mp_s_a_1_2&precache;=1

Yes. Check your PC it may have an extra power harness but you will definitely need a new SATA cable. FYI: I bought this drive and it died two weeks outside of it's unusually short warranty. Drives should be good for more than two years!

I used a 2TB Seagate drive, and had no trouble recognizing it in Win 7. Both USB and E-SATA worked ok for me. Have you tried both interfaces? Might want to try connecting it to another system as well.

I do not know. Tom's Hardware says that SATA III only mkea a difference with SDD drives. If that is tru you will not see any difference with a SATA II enclosure. SATA II enclosures are hard to find.

That's interesting. I just kept mine in a box, but that was fortunate because when the new drive failed they were able to retrieve my data (again) from my original drive. I would think a computer place that does repairs could help you.Sounds like a great idea, good luck.

No, see http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/difference-between-sata-and-esata/

I wish I could tell you. I had two machines in two weeks. Both of the hard drives crashed. I gave up after number two died.

I actually had a bad drive that because of the simplicity of this device I popped in to see if I would have any better luck reading. The answer was no it behaved like you expected any hard drive to act installed in your system. It has no error correction capabilities any different than an internal hard drive on your system. If error correction could/or would be possible it would have to be something running/installed in your O/S

I bought a Seagate 1tB about two years ago. I've had to have it replaces twice already and I'm looking for a third replacement. I still have a 150Gb WD drive that I bought nearly a decade ago. In my experience, I would go with the WD... I'm about to buy this one.

SATA is backwards compatible. You just will get SATA2 speeds instead of SATA3. Of course mechanical HDD max out at SATA2 around 120-150 MB/s so it doesn't matter. And if you're not transferring from another SATA3 SSD then you will be bottlenecked at SATA2 anyway.

Well the easiest way to find out is to open up the HDD bay under the laptop and unplug it to see the type of connection. Make sure the laptop is turned off, power cord & battery removed first. Try to touch yourself to ground the static electricity from your body before touching the components. The HDD will probably say "SATA" on it. Sata connection has two long black "L" one longer than the other. A Parallel connection will have lots of little connector holes or posts. If your laptop is only a few yrs old it is probably SATA. I bought a 500GB WD blue drive and it failed after a yr. It was pretty slow too. If you are going to replace the drive I would recommend going bigger and 7200rpm or faster.

Depends on computer. Go to profile on computer an it will list what it is. IDE is to old interface SATA in newer.

I was so disgusted with the manufacturer I did not make a warranty claim on WD. There is no reason to expect a WD replacement drive to be any better than the original. I replaced the drive with one from another manufacturer.

You'll need to be more specific in order to get a valid answer, but here is an answer based on the info on your question: Maybe. If it's a standard SATA drive with no encryption then you should be able to get the info. Is something wrong with the new drive?

You do know this is a SAS hard drive and not an SATA one. Well the truth is I had brought this one by mistake and had sent it back. So I really cannot give you an answer. Sorry.
